Hey guys! I feel like it's been a little while since I've done an everyday wearable look so I wanted to post a video on a look I've been doing pretty much everyday lately. Maybe you have heard about this particular drugstore eyeshadow palette since it's been buzzed about among blogs, but I am absolutely IN LOVE with the Wet & Wild limited edition Color Icon Palette in "Night Elf". Plus, it's only $5!

This palette is so special because of a particular burgundy-green duochrome shade that I've heard is a dupe for MAC Club eyeshadow. I don't own Club myself, but I can say it is very similar to my Rock & Republic Lawsuit eyeshadow except that it runs more red while Lawsuit leans more green. For those who are having trouble finding this palette, fear not! According to Nouveau Cheap, these colors are being released in a permanent 8-pan palette soon to Walmart and Walgreens.

I wanted to show a full-length so you can see the waviness of my hair. I actually used a wave iron, which was really easy to use but I'm nervous it fries my hair! Maybe I'll do a video on it soon?

Everyone was asking about my nail color in the youtube comments. It's an interesting greige that leans military green. I'll have nice close-up pics and info in my next post. ^_^

Hope you enjoyed it! By the way, I want to do another kpop-inspired look soon. Would you like to see Nana's monolid look from the groups Orange Caramel & After School or would you want to see Taeyeon's winged eye from SNSD's Run Devil Run?

ooh! I never found those palettes but that duochrome color you showed is like Label Whore from Too Faced! (which I own so I'm pretty happy about that, haha)I enjoy all the Kpop looks you do, so either one! I'm going to try a Park Bom look soon :)

Thanks for the tutorial, Jen! The makeup is really pretty.. and your contacts look gorgeous on you! And I'm not sure if it was you that wanted it, but the ASOS heart suspender tights went back for sale on their site. I'm not sure if it's still available because I ordered in Nov/Dec and received it in Dec. : ) Wearing them here.

I looove the green burgandy shade! I've look a few places for the W&W limited edition palettes with no luck, but it's nice to hear they'll be coming out permanenty. My current favorite color is "smokey mountain" - a gunmetal green from NYX, so I'll probably love this W&W shade.

Oh I loove the look :D ! I thought the look would be too red, but indeed it turned out pretty casual for an everyday look :)

Oh pleaseeee do the Taeyeon eye makeup from Run Devil Run! I love that look so bad and personally I haven't found a version on YT that seems to really catch the 'essence' of that look. Since your Kpop inspired videos are always so so good, it'll be REALLY nice to see the Taeyeon look from you :D !!

Hi Jen!!! I really love your videos and your sense of style ^_^ I think you would be a great korean model, you're gorgeous! but also very friendly and likeable :D I'm from Portugal by the way, now you know you got fans here too. I love japanese and korean style, I think you're all so adorable and trendy :P It's funny because I actually like monolid eyes, and some japanese and korean girls do the surgery to modify them LOL... I wouldn't mind having monolids, for example I think Taeyeon from SNSD has the most beautiful eye shape!!! It's very feline looking!!! LOVE THEM!!! So I would like to see your tutorial in Taeyeon's sparkling eyes in Run Devil Run, besides that song is my ringtone because I adore it <3

So Jen, whatever you decide it's going to be fine for all of us, because we love watching your tutorials whatever they're about LOLI really wish I could get cute so fast like you do xD Watching you is my way to learn it ;)so keep up the good work Jen and never lose your smile and kindness^^

Please do a comment on Nana's monolid look!!! I have been waiting and waiting for a good tutorial on it!! (By an actual monolidder) <33 Thank you so much Jen, I looove all of your tutorials, especially the monolid ones ^^ they are soo helpful

Great tutorial! I keep hearing everyone mention the Wet n'Wild palettes; I definitely have to check them out the next time I'm at the drugstore. And those lenses make your eyes look huge! Very dolly-like :)

I like this every day look a lot! I'll have to look for this palette and try it myself. I picked up the Revlon Colorstay Quad in Copper Spice that you used previously for your every day look. And I love it! Normally, I would not have chosen that color palette because it looked too bright - I would've picked up the nude palette instead. But thanks to you, I have a terrific shadow for every day that I actually like!

Both please?!!i loved Taeyeon's pretty eye makeup that makes her look bright and cherry everytime,but i got to know about NaNa recently and i admires her cool eye makeup for the monolids,has been wondering how she does her eye makeup!!

Please do Nana's! It's not easy to do monolid makeup and yours is the only one I've felt comfortable trying as you don't use excessive eyeliner and don't try to fake the crease, which looks "fake" which I hate. If you could also do more looks without lashes that would be helpful for everyday too, it's difficult to do them every day, plus they never stay on for me. Eyelash tutorial? ;)

I wanted to share that my favorite is the Hot Lashes heated 2 pc lash curler! It has gotten great reviews at Amazon--Cult favorite Hot Lashes Makeup artist Kit..Absolute best out there~!

They have an amazing sturdy 24K gold metal curler similiar to the Shu Uemura and Sheisdo one that comes with its own seperate pink small heater base that heats just the pad in the curler, this way my curl lasts till the next day~!

Hey Jen! I don't know if you'll see this, but can you please tell me the brand and color of the nail polish? You mentioned that people were asking in the video comments, but you still didn't say what nail polish it is :/ I would appreciate it so much if you replied! I am too impatient to wait until the next post to find out :P

Hi Jen! I just came across your blog and just had to follow you! I find all of your posts inspirational, interesting and fun. But hmm Nana or Taeyeon's look...I'd say, why don't you just do BOTH! hehe ^_^

Hi! I'm new to your blog, and I am definitely Loving it. I found out about it trying to search better ways to do my non-creased eyelids, and your page came up! I love reading your blog! :] this Wet n wild look is really great too! i gotta go and find me one and try out! thanks :D

oh my gosh i got so excited when you mentioned snsd. i was really hoping you would do some snsd looks. but then i love nana too. she's gorgeous... like YOU. both are great ideas.but i would love it if you did some makeup tutorials for snsd in the future (:
